The Carson Valley Arts Council proudly presents local artists Tamia de Luna and Mechele Johnson’s art exhibit, May 8, at the Copeland Gallery in Minden. The show runs May 8 through July 1, 2018.

Tamia and Mechele’s reception is Friday, May 11 from 5 to 7 pm at the Copeland Gallery. Come and meet the artists and preview their amazing work.

TAMIA DE LUNA
Tamia de Luna will be displaying her mixed media artwork. The showing will include hand carved walking sticks, pottery, hand carved gourds and a colorful array of contemporary paintings. Some select pieces will be available for purchase.

In the words of Tamia de Luna, “The world is more beautiful because creating art makes me happy. I enjoy the natural universe that surrounds us all. My sight, touch and hearing senses become acute while working on a piece as it evolves and I grow with its completion. I get positive feedback from myself and others with my finished works. It is totally easy to lose one’s self in the creative process. I like to think of my art as recognizable, unique and original. Thank you for helping me to share a part of myself with you.”

MECHELE JOHNSON
